It is believed that when a person dies, he leaves his body and continues to exist in the form of a spirit, soul, consciousness, a bunch of energy. The etheric body enters another form of reality that cannot be seen from the world of the living. It is very difficult to feel the presence of a deceased person with the help of five senses, but this does not mean that it is impossible to communicate with him.
After a person's spirit reaches the "other side", he still remains in emotional contact with the people who loved him in life. Many try to send word that they are all right.
How do they do it?
After the spirit only gets to the “other side”, it most likely does not yet know how to contact the people left on earth. But, probably, other inhabitants of the other world, deceased relatives, angels and spiritual mentors give a hint on how to do this. But the fact that the spirit of the deceased will send a message does not mean that someone will be able to receive and understand it. It is very difficult to imagine how a deceased person feels, watching the suffering of loved ones, not being able to calm them down.
As time passes, the spirit of the deceased person tries to signal that it still exists. There are a lot of signs sent from the “other world”. The most common signs are flickering light bulbs, changing the position or falling of a photograph hanging on the wall, malfunctioning household appliances, deviations in the behavior of pets, the appearance of butterflies or birds, the appearance of smells that the deceased person loved, special songs that sound on the radio, etc. .
The most common method of communication used by deceased people is communication through sleep. Quite often, people have dreams in which loving person and sends the message. Such a dream seems very distinct and real.
During sleep, the mind and consciousness of a person are relaxed and open to the perception of information. It is much easier for the spirit to make contact than during daytime wakefulness, when there is a “porridge” of thoughts and emotions in a person’s head.
Not all dreams in which the image of a deceased person is present are real contact. Very often, the subconscious can itself cause such dreams in a person. As a rule, with real contact with the spirit of the deceased, a message of love, confidence and emotional connection is transmitted. Often, dead people convey knowledge or warning about the future.
How to independently contact the other world?
You can contact a loved one simply by referring to him mentally. The fact is that the souls of loved ones are able to hear the thoughts of a person. There is no guarantee that at the very moment they are addressed, they are not busy and listening. But, with due perseverance, you can wait for an answer. Such a response, as a rule, will come with some delay in time. Communicating with the spirit of the deceased in real time can be quite difficult. This is exactly what professional mediums do. Without proper training and talent, it is quite difficult to make such contact on your own.
There is a way to communicate with the spirit yourself. To do this, you need to relax, imagine a well-lit place in which pleasant music plays and mentally invite the deceased to a conversation. If everything succeeds, then the person will have the opportunity to ask a few questions to the spirit.
The difficulty lies in not confusing real contact with your imagination. But this can also be easily verified. With real contact, things will be discussed that are hard to think of and present in Everyday life. Images and pictures of unfamiliar things will appear in your head. Thoughts will come from outside.
It is hard enough to live, realizing that you will never be able to communicate with your loved one again. But you should not be upset in advance. The dead do not leave us forever, they just change the form of existence.
The transition we call death was compared in Edgar Cayce's readings to moving from one city to another. Even when we travel long distances in this world, we still continue to communicate with people on the phone, in correspondence, on the Internet, and so on. Similarly, there are ways and means by which the living can communicate with souls in other dimensions of consciousness.
Once Casey was asked an interesting question about communicating with the dead in a state of trance:
(Q) Is it possible for this subject, that is, Edgar Cayce, who is in trance, to communicate with those who have passed into the spirit world?
(A) The souls of all who have left the physical plane remain near this plane until their evolution takes them further or until they are brought back to evolve here [on the earthly plane]. When they are on the communication plane, or stay within that realm, anyone can communicate with them. There are thousands of them around us.. (3744-1)
In some periods it is easier for the dead to communicate with the living than in others. The optimal state of consciousness for meeting the dead is dreaming, or the "intermediate state" of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep, sometimes referred to as hypnogogic state of consciousness. It is in this state that our souls are most receptive to the realms where the dead reside, thanks to the "network" of the collective unconscious of all people.
It is not unusual for those who died shortly after their death are to the living and communicate with them in one form or another. These "appearances" take many different forms and can occur in the waking state of consciousness, in dreams, or during periods of deep meditation. In many cases, the dead "talk" to the living through certain circumstances, coincidences or episodes, where they somehow make themselves known to the mourners. In some cases, the soul tries to communicate with the mourners in order to console them, in others, the soul itself needs guidance and help from the living, and we talked about this in previous chapters. In Evidence of Light, Francis Banks details how this communication between the living and the dead takes place:
"There are Stations on this plane that make communication with the earth plane possible."
“At these Stations there are helpers and servants who have dedicated their knowledge and service to helping those who wish to send news of themselves to their loved ones left on earth. As I understand it, the technique they use is very "special", and very difficult at first, even for those who wish to use it. But there are Stations, there are Instructions for this work, there are administrators and, in a sense, technicians who know how to run this technique ... "
“...On this telepathic wave I can record snippets of information regarding such a controversial topic as Life After Death ... but now I can tell you that, on my part, this was not a solo performance ... There is an Orchestra, who assists and guides me in the selection of episodes to be telepathically transmitted to you... there are others in this Orchestra, and I understand that we are but instruments in this work. The veil between the worlds must be parted... People living on earth, possessing erudition, culture and mental abilities, believers and religious people, as well as uneducated, ignorant and closed minds - all need to be contacted. Everyone needs knowledge to get rid of fear, which is one of the darkest and most powerful earthly emotions and must be conquered before peace and progress can come to earth.».
Edgar Cayce Helps the Soul of a Deceased Head to the Light
Hugh-Lynn Casey told the story of his father's extraordinary encounter with a dead woman he knew when he started his photography career. This woman died at a relatively young age and visited Edgar Cayce's home in Virginia Beach a few years later:
“One morning he woke up very excited about an interesting and strange story that happened to him. He said that at night he heard some kind of knock on the window in a dream. He began to realize that someone from the other world was talking to him, and he found out who it was. It was a girl who had worked for him at his studio in Selma, Alabama, years ago. And he knew she was dead. But she was a true young lady, and so she begged him to be so kind as to come downstairs and let her in at the front door. She wanted to meet him and decided to do so in good manners. He went downstairs and opened the door: she stood in front of him. He could see through her, but she was thick enough to walk in, sit down and start talking to him. She wanted to know what to do.
“I know I'm dead,” she said. - I live with my mother and father. They constantly avoid me, leave me alone and I don't know where to go or what to do. I was near the photo studio and remembered that if I can get to you, then you will tell me what to do. I'm in a terrible situation right now."
The following part of this story illustrates the holding power of our beliefs and the unusual circumstances that can surround the soul after physical death:
“You know that I died of a stomach ailment that I suffered from,” the woman explained. - The doctor began to operate on me, and during the operation I died. When I passed into the other world, I continued to get sick and suffer, and I was very worried. Then this doctor also died and, already in the other world, completed this operation. Now I'm all right."
Hugh-Lynn said that many years had passed since she died, but how much time had actually passed, she did not realize:
“Years passed, but to her they seemed like ten minutes ... So dad told her about the light, how to look for it and how to pray for it. He said that he would pray for her, that he would gather a group [for healing] for her, and that when she saw the light she should follow him: then she would know where to go. You will hear us mention from time to time about the light that comes during meditation, and that it would be better if we found it before we cross over to the other side. Apparently, we need this light to understand where to go. Losing the sense of time on the other side can be quite disturbing. So we need to be able to move on.”
Murdered woman returns to her son
Six weeks after her disappearance, Jay had a very vivid dream about his mother, in which he believed she was communicating with him. In this dream, he was driving along some highway and crossing a rusty railway bridge. Immediately after crossing this bridge, he saw the ghost of his mother.
“I saw her torn to pieces,” Jay said, “but because she was torn to pieces, one could say for sure that she was not the victim of a grizzly bear. There were gaps on her body separating the head from the torso and the arms from the shoulders, but I did not see her legs. Her face was very distinct, and in her expression one could read “pay attention ... it is very important for you to understand” ”.
He followed his mother in the dream through the woods to a wasteland about twenty-five yards from the bridge. As they walked towards this wasteland, the sun came out from behind the clouds and illuminated the entire landscape. His mother pointed to the ground. When Jay looked, he immediately realized that in front of him was a shallow, poorly buried grave. Surprisingly, neither Jay nor his mother lost their minds in this dream. As he looked at his mother and that shallow grave, he was filled with a paradoxical sense of relief. Jay said that when he suddenly awoke from his sleep, he was filled with "knowing" two things at the same time: he knew that his mother was dead and that her soul was all right.
“Somehow I knew she was killed,” Jay said. - And as strange as it may sound, when I woke up and this understanding came to me, I was filled with a great sense of peace. I felt that my mother was relieved, simply because I now know and understand what happened to her».
The Definitive Book of Thomson J. Hudson The Law of Psychic Phenomena("The Law of Psychic Phenomena") illustrates one incident that surprisingly echoes Jay's dream encounter with his mother:
“The nature of the manifestation [the appearance of the deceased] is as different as the phases of human emotion or the objects of human desire are different ... When a mother dies away from her children, she is often possessed desire see them one more time before leaving. This is often expressed in the transfer of her phantom to the place where they are: this phantom peers into the faces of her loved ones for a long time, and then fades away.
All the ghosts of the dead are the phantoms of those people who died under conditions of severe mental or emotional stress ... At this climax, the murdered person feels a strong desire to acquaint the world with the circumstances of his "departure", and the idea of reproducing the scene and its place is born in him. murder until its meaning is understood and until the perpetrator is brought to justice ... those [of the living] whose nerves are strong enough to withstand this shock can see every night a realistic reproduction of this tragedy. This can go on for days, months, and even years, but it will definitely stop when the goal is achieved ... "
Jay's mother came to tell him that she had not left him of her own free will, but had become a victim of a murder and could not return to him physically. The evidence that the mother's wish was fulfilled was precisely the state of calm that Jay felt in his dream. This dream was repeated for seven nights. With each successive night, Jay's sense of peace increased and his sadness subsided. After the seventh night, the dream encounters with his mother ceased, as did the paralyzing grief he had experienced for six whole weeks before. Jay has not yet found that railway bridge and that grove where his mother showed him her grave in a dream. But he is sure that this meeting with his mother in a dream was a real experience that allowed her to calm down after her cruel death, and also gave him the opportunity to move on, knowing that death is not the end.
The drowned girl announces herself
Edgar Cayce experienced a similar situation when he and his wife Gertrude experimented with the Ouija board in the early thirties. Casey told how, using this tablet, news was received from a little girl who drowned in the lake:
“Saw a few Ouija board messages that struck me the most... got a few messages one evening proving it to be the absolute truth. Although all those who were in this room did not know anything about the messages received, and about the people from whom, apparently, they came from or to whom they were addressed. However, the address of each turned out to be correct, and the message turned out to be useful to the person to whom it was sent. For example, one of the messages said: “I am a little girl named B.E. Please inform my father DR that I didn't run away from home but drowned in a log pool. My dad is a foreman at a sawmill. Please tell him to get my bones from such and such a place in the pool ... ”A father who lost his little daughter was written about this, and he found her remains exactly where it was said. This may serve as supporting evidence for many other cases...” (1196-1)
In this example, the father's immense grief was directly conveyed to the little girl on the other side. Naturally, this prompted the child's soul to seek communication through any opened channel. The Ouija tablet, and Edgar Cayce as one of its operators, represented this opened channel through which the soul in the other world could communicate. Before advancing to higher realms afterlife, this child needed to console the grief of his father.
Around the death of loved ones, many strange phenomena can arise, in many cases removing the barrier between the world of the living and world of the dead. In his book The Law of Psychic Phenomena("The Law of Psychic Phenomena") Hudson describes a theory that explains this experience, especially when it comes to cases of sudden or violent death:
“The generally accepted theory, which, in theory, explains this coincidence, is that the soul, suddenly and prematurely torn from the body, retains more of the material elements of the body than if death was the result of gradual destruction and the natural separation of material form from intangible. It is believed that the physical elements, held by the soul for some time, enable it to become visible to the living, and also to manifest itself in actions on the physical level, which we are accustomed to attribute to different spirits. At first glance, this is quite plausible, and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, this theory can be considered correct ... "
Phone call from beyond
In many cases, souls living in another world communicate with the living intangibly, that is, without appearing in dreams or visions. The following two cases illustrate the fact that sometimes contacts with the dead are expressed in signs and circumstances that bear the "stigma" of the deceased person, to the point that they express the humor that was inherent in the deceased.
It is important to remember that the integrity of our soul and our personality is preserved even after death. The dead can console the living in exactly the same manner in which they consoled them when they themselves were alive, that is, leaving an "imprint" of their humor, their gaiety and love. As Edgar Cayce said:
“... and do not think that the individual soul-essence, departing from the earthly plane, belongs to the Catholic, Methodist or Anglican Church, becomes different, simply because the person died! It's just a dead Anglican, Catholic or Methodist." (254-92)
Father communicates with his daughters
Just like Barbara, who received the news from her husband, Janet and her sister knew without question that their father was happy and alive in the other world.
Girl consoles her friends after her death
Gina underwent a liver transplant, but the operation was unsuccessful and after a few days in a coma, Gina died. While Gina was in a coma, her father called Laura, one of their family's close friends, and asked her to pray for Gina so that she could make her transition more easily.
Laura, terribly upset by this news, wandered the streets for a long time, praying for Gina and talking to her all the way. During this walk, Gina's face appeared in front of her, which looked very worried. "I don't know what to do," Gina said. Laura felt that the very words that were supposed to help her dying friend immediately came to her mind. She said, “It's okay, Gina. Just let yourself go. Everything will be OK". Laura could clearly see Gina's face, and after she said those few words, Gina seemed to calm down. The vision is gone. Laura said that this event happened at about 4 pm.
While Laura was experiencing this vision, a few miles away, Gina's sister noticed a distinct change in her dying sister, who was lying in a hospital bed. “Her expression became peaceful,” her sister said. Gina then made her transition easily at 4:25 pm.
Shortly after Gina's death, her close friend Mary was driving to the hospice where she worked volunteering to help children with AIDS. On the way Mary suddenly felt Gina's presence in the car. Gina and Mary met at a spiritual conference and became close friends. They discussed many topics: spirituality, the possibility of reincarnation, and what happens to the soul after death. Mary remained with Gina and her family throughout Gina's transition to the other world.
“I felt static electricity in the car,” Mary said, “as if my whole body was tingling with tiny needles. I knew that it was Gina. And I felt her next to me when I entered the hospice. I loudly said: “Well, Gina, now you will meet my children.” I took in my arms Johnny, a little boy with AIDS, to whom I was very attached. I started telling him a favorite story about angels, about how they always hover around him and watch him. I told Johnny that he now has a new and special angel named Gina. As I began my story, the toy musical rocking horse that was in the room began to rock on its own. She rocked for ten minutes while I told Johnny about Jean and the angels.
“At that moment, I knew that this was a sign that Gina was with me and with Johnny,” Mary said. Johnny died in October 1992. "I had the feeling that Johnny served as an intermediary between me and Gina, and that when he died, Gina would be by his side."
This experience did not so much surprise Mary as it gave her a certain understanding. During their brief time on earth, the two women developed a spiritual bond, and many people say Mary was not at all surprised by this phenomenon. On the contrary, Gina's response filled her with knowledge that life continues after death.
Visiting a dead friend in a dream
It is very important to note how Mark appeared to Bob in the dream. He appeared to him healthy, strong and strong. Often people say that their loved ones who have died appear to them in the same way that they did when they were alive. In addition, Cayce's readings emphasize that the physical body, exhausted by an incurable disease, in no way becomes an obstacle to the soul. The physical body dies, but the soul and spiritual powers are preserved:
“... if we learn more and more that partings [at the time of death] are only passing through the rooms of the abode of God, then we will begin - in these partings, in these experiences - to realize what is meant by which has always been and will be the law: "The Lord our God is the One Lord." And you must be one - one with each other, one with Him, for you are flow particles the life of your Savior!" (1391-1)
At the moment of death, the soul is given the opportunity to free itself from its earthly bonds and the material dimension of consciousness and go to the light for further growth and development. For some souls, this possibility is not obvious: if a person has spent all his earthly life in pursuit of material values and did not strive for spiritual development, then his soul will remain so absorbed in the former earthly activities that it can continue to hover near his home or close to friends, households and acquaintances whom a person knew during his lifetime, or try to participate in the affairs of the living of people.
The freedom of the soul continues after death. Each soul is responsible for its position both here and in the other world. The soul, both in this world and in the next, abides wherever its desires lead it. The less the desires and intentions we cultivate are focused on the material and the more they are focused on the spiritual, the higher the consciousness to which we will gravitate after death.
Father who committed suicide appears to his daughter
Susan's experience of receiving a rebuke from her father is reminiscent of an incident in the readings of Edgar Cayce. One woman sought answers to questions regarding post-mortem contact with her late husband:
(Q) Will I continue to communicate with my deceased spouse?
(Oh) If there is a desire, then he will continue to wait ... Do you want to return him to these restless energies or do you want to pour out your soul to him so that he is happy? What is your desire: to satisfy yourself with fellowship, or to continue to retain it and thereby delay [its development]?... Hand it over into the hands of the One who is the Resurrection! Then Prepare Yourself for the Same (1786-2)
After Susan realized that her desire to communicate with her dead father interfered with the continuation of his spiritual development she was able to let him go. She knew for sure that she had made contact with him. Subsequently, she only contacted him when she felt very lonely and needed his advice, just as she had turned to him for advice when he was alive.
Later, Susan developed a very positive contact with her father, just as her granddaughter was born. Susan was very happy about the birth of her granddaughter and wanted her father to be alive and see baby Chrissy. Shortly after Chrissie was born, Susan had a conscious physical sensation that her father was with her.
“I didn’t hear him so much as I felt him talking to me,” Susan said, “but I clearly understood what he was telling me. He said of Chrissy: "I knew her here before she came to you!" He was very pleased and, apparently, even surprised that I thought he did not know Chrissy. He told me that he knew Chrissy already there in other world».
Edgar Cayce often said that death in the physical world is birth in the spiritual worlds, and vice versa. We should take Susan's account of her interactions with her father as confirmation that our loved ones continue to be aware of many aspects of our lives even after they die.
A gift from the "other world" for the granddaughter
Edgar Cayce described a similar encounter with his dead mother. During a period of great financial hardship, Edgar Cayce had an appearance from his late mother who materialized a silver coin:
“I had a lot of experiences, and I, of course, believe in materialization, but not in order to receive any instructions, but in order to have this or that confirmation. In March 1934, my mother came to me and spoke to me, although I was at that time in a pasture in New Mexico. And she materialized a silver dollar to assure me that I should not worry about money, but I should believe in God, live right, and then the money that I need will come to me. I took it as a reassurance, and so it turned out ... "Reports, (294-161).
Scientist investigates the ghosts of the dead
Many years after Dr. Raymond Moody had done his extensive research on near-death experiences, he began to study the phenomenon of deceased loved ones appearing to people.
“Many people come back from their near-death experiences transformed,” said Dr. Moody, “because they see their loved ones happy in the other world. In the same way, visions of meetings with their deceased loved ones help people.
Dr. Moody said that in recent years the question of communication between the dead and the living has begun to be explored in specialist medical journals. “There were articles that clearly stated that a very large percentage of people experiencing loss, for a certain period of time, feel close to the dead and really communicate with them. In fact, several medical studies have claimed that nearly sixty percent of widows have this experience. Widows make up the largest bereavement group. We also know that people who have lost siblings, parents, and children experience similar experiences.”
Dr. Moody's research on near-death experiences sparked a great deal of debate among his medical colleagues in the 1970s. He was heavily criticized when he announced that he was going to systematically study communication with the dead in a controlled situation. unwavering in his intentions dr Moody began his pioneering research and came up with startling results:
“A number of things have opened up to me. One of them is simply the recognition that communication with the dead is a fairly common phenomenon. And if this phenomenon is indeed widespread, then there is reason to believe that the probability of getting these experiences in some controlled situation is very high. Since encounters with the dead are a very common part of near-death experiences (NDE), it seems to me that if I knew how to arrange a meeting with a ghost in a controlled situation, I would have an additional way to study near-death experiences. The vision of deceased loved ones produces a colossal therapeutic effect. Encounters with deceased relatives are one of the elements of near-death experiences that make these experiences less frightening and traumatic. Many people return transformed by their NDE because they see their loved ones happy in the afterlife. Visions of meetings with deceased loved ones help the living in the same way. They alleviate fear and grief. People usually don't get scared when they see the ghosts of the dead. This experience brings them considerable comfort. This prompted me to do further research.”
To conduct this research, Dr. Moody created the so-called "Mind Theater", that is, a place where people could experience visionary encounters with deceased loved ones. The ancient Greeks had institutions called "psychomaniacs" where people came to interact with the souls of the dead. They summoned ghosts using reflections or mirrors. After researching this ancient tradition, Dr. Moody began to create his own version of the "psychomanteum" in Anniston, Alabama:
“I found an old mill built in 1839. She was standing on a creek that ran through a very old agricultural area of Alabama. I wanted people to be able to do it in a place that brings back fond memories. I had a feeling that if this experiment succeeded, it would arouse very, very strong emotions in these people. I designed this place so that people don't have a sense of time. I furnished it with antique furniture and created an environment that makes you feel like you are moving back in time.”
Dr. Moody created the "ghost room": it was a room with black velvet curtains. On the wall, at such a height that a person could not see his own reflection, hung a very tall Victorian mirror. On the floor stood an easy chair with sawn-off legs. The walls were also covered with velvet, and thus the space in which the person was placed, except for the surface reflected in the mirror, was a completely black cocoon. Behind human dr Moody placed a lamp with a dim incandescence, giving a very diffused light. Since the only source of light in this darkened room was behind the man's back, this light was not reflected in the mirror.
“I ask people to just relax and then sit and wait,” said Dr. Moody. - I ask them not to worry about the time and assure them that in half an hour I will look at them. But I also tell them that they can be here as long as they want. After that, they leave, and we start a processing session, during which we discuss what happened.”
Before the participant enters the ghost room, Dr. Moody spends a lot of time talking, during which he discusses with people the reasons that led them to meet with deceased loved ones. At the beginning of his studies, he carefully selected participants and invited only specialists, priests, doctors, nurses, and so on, as well as those who did not have any prejudices about this experience. In other words, he selected those who could perceive without prejudice everything that happened. The results surprised even Dr. Moody himself. Participants had far more experiences with the dead than he had originally thought:
“This study really amazed me. When I first began expounding these ideas, I made certain assumptions about what my results would be. All of these assumptions turned out to be absolutely wrong! I assumed that one in ten people participating in this experiment would see their deceased loved one. I thought this assumption was quite reasonable. In addition, I believed that if they saw anyone in this mirror, then it would be exactly the person they wanted to see. I also expected the experience to be entirely visual, and that everyone who had the experience would claim to have had a "vision." It never occurred to me that there would be any communication between the deceased and the person in the room. In addition, I believed that the people I chose for this experiment would approach their experience purely speculatively.
The striking aspect of this study was the fact that the results exceeded all of Dr. Moody's expectations. Not one in ten had a visual encounter at all—fifty percent of the twenty-seven participants who initially went through the psychomanteum experience had an encounter with a deceased loved one.
“Participants didn't necessarily see the person they chose to see,” added Dr. Moody. - A man came to us, and we were preparing all day for him to meet his father. Nevertheless, in the evening, his deceased business partner appeared to him! One woman, a lawyer by profession, was preparing to meet her husband, but, as a result, she saw her father.”
Another intriguing fact about Dr. Moody's research is that these experiences went far beyond seeing ghosts. Participants not only saw the ghosts of deceased loved ones, but also talked to them, and in some cases, these ghosts even came out of the mirror into the room in which the participants were sitting.
“In many cases,” said Dr. Moody, “people had very difficult long conversations with the dead. In many cases, the ghosts of the dead actually came out of the mirror and appeared in the room to talk to a loved one. One woman said that her grandfather actually hugged her and wiped away her tears. It was amazing!”
Participants who had experiences with deceased loved ones experienced profound changes as a result of this experience. They realized the reality of this experience, they realized that they were communicating with their loved ones, and that their deceased loved ones were in every way no more "dead" than themselves. The goal of Dr. Moody's research was not only to satisfy curiosity about this phenomenon, but also to help people alleviate their grief and sense of loss. In most cases, when our loved ones and friends die, there is a real feeling of "unfinished business". Many of us yearn to be able to say goodbye to them and also to remind them one more time that they love them. Dr. Moody has done the painstaking job of documenting all of his research in order to substantiate it. scientific basis, although its main goal was to help people understand that there is no death.
Dr. Moody himself had a very deep experience after the session in the "Psychomanteum". His own grandmother appeared to him, and they had a detailed conversation:
“I was ready to see my maternal grandmother. But the truly amazing experience came later, and it involved my paternal grandmother, who died a few years ago. She appeared to me as real as any of us in this room. We had a long and detailed conversation. There was not the slightest doubt in my mind about this. I should add that those who have experienced this, including myself, tell me that the image of a dead person is not at all ghostly. The deceased, like you and me, had an image that had a three-dimensional dimension. I tried to hug my grandmother, but she motioned for me to step back. In all other respects our communication was verbal. We talked about things that happened when I was little that only she knows about. My grandmother even called me by the nickname she herself once gave me. I didn’t even remember this nickname since childhood! It was an impressive experience. The same was true for most people. People who have had visions of such encounters say that these encounters had a profound impact on their lives. I can confirm it."
Further details of Dr. Moody's pioneering research were published in the book Reunions - Visionary Encounters with Departed Loved Ones("Reunion. Visionary meetings with deceased loved ones"). One of the more impressive cases documented by Moody was when a woman came to Moody to talk to her son, who had died of a terminal form of cancer:
“This woman missed her son terribly... She came to the “psychomanteum” in the hope of seeing him again, just to see if his suffering had passed. We prepared all day for this meeting, and then I asked her to go to the ghost meeting room. She was very satisfied with the experience. She saw several "memorable visions", vivid pictures of her childhood. She also reported a strong feeling that her son was with her in this cabin. “He was sitting next to me,” she said when she came out. “We sat there together and reviewed the events of our lives together.”
A few days later, she called me and told me something incredible.
A few days after visiting my clinic, she woke up from a deep sleep. She not only woke up, but felt "hyper-awakened", that is, more awake than usual, and saw that her son was in the room. She lifted herself up in bed to look at him and saw that the devastating effects of the cancer had disappeared. Now he looked energetic and happy, as he was before his illness... She got up, turned to her son and began to talk to him... They talked about many things... Finally, it dawned on her what was going on. She was talking to the ghost of her son. “I couldn't believe it was him,” she told me. “I asked him if I could touch him.” Immediately the ghost of her son, without a moment's hesitation, stepped forward and embraced her. Then, as the woman said, he lifted her off the ground and lifted her over her head.
“What happened was so real, as if he was actually standing next to me,” this woman told me. "Now I feel like I can disconnect from my son's death and get on with my life."
The appearance of the dead, whether in dreams, in visions, or through awareness of their invisible but tangible presence, confirms that the complex matrix of interpersonal relationships that we form during life continues to grow and develop after death, just as if these relationships continued here on earth. In addition, according to the readings of Edgar Cayce, we can be useful to our loved ones even after their death, and they can appear to us in dreams, visions and meditations:
“Be sincere towards yourself and other external influences. Then even disembodied entities, with the help of which and through which you can receive a lot, will be sincere with you. Sincerity will lead away from you those who can interfere with you: do not use them and do not insult them. Know that these [entities] come to you for help, not to help you. Help them! That is why we are advised to pray for the dead. Pray for the dead, for they only sleep - as the Lord bequeathed to us. And when we are able to tune in to them, we can help them. Although we cannot bring them back to life as the Son did, we can show the way. For this is the only way. And also to point out that salvation is in Him, who is the way, the truth and the Light.

One of the most simple ways connection with your deceased loved one is a simple conversation.
Start communicating with him as if you were talking to a living person who is present next to you.
But you need to do more than just talk into the air. Pick up a photo of the person you are trying to communicate with and send her or him your message, a verbal message.
Of course, it is best to do this in a quiet place where you can retire and not be disturbed by external distractions.
Start with very simple questions that should be answered "Yes" or "No". Ask your invisible interlocutor to answer in a certain way, for example, the answer "yes" is a knock on the wall, and the answer is no, this is silence.

Try to let go as much as possible of the feeling of fear, embarrassment, or any other feeling that can interfere with the communication process.
You should talk to your loved one in the same way as if he were present with you in the room. Do not think too much about what to say and in what order, just try to pour out your thoughts as sincerely and directly as possible.
Communication with those who left us is the most difficult and at the same time the easiest of all existing types of communication.
Let go of all preconceived notions, thoughts, clear your mind and just speak as if your loved one is right there in front of you.

Our dreams have amazing power. They can connect us with new ones, with old ones, as well as with very strange places and objects.
Pay close attention to your dreams because your deceased loved one may be trying to contact you through your dream.
When you sleep, any barriers and restrictions disappear, so it becomes easier for someone in the spirit world to contact you. You can refer to them through your dreams.

To continue communicating in a dream, you need to immerse yourself in it again. One way to do this is to allow yourself to return to the dream you just woke up from. Close your eyes and focus on this dream - imagine that you are already in it, and try to hold this thought until you fall asleep again.
When you manage to take control of your dreams even a little, you will be able to communicate with deceased loved ones who come to you in dreams.
4. Meditation

Sometimes, if we want to make contact with our deceased loved ones, we need to renew our consciousness. And one of the best ways to do this is meditation.
Communication with the dead is usually not explicit, it occurs under certain conditions and at certain times. This communication is rather light and transparent. To be able to recognize it, you need heightened senses and a calm mind.
And what if not meditation sharpens our senses and calms the mind?
To meditate properly, get into a comfortable seated position and find an object to focus your attention on, such as a tree or other object that grabs your attention.

Try to keep it in your mind without letting other thoughts intrude and without judging yourself for your thoughts wandering. Stay in this state for as long as you can.
Eventually, you will learn to maintain your meditative state for quite a long time. Once you succeed, you will be able to focus on the face and image of the loved one you want to connect with.
This helps to "tune" yourself to the right communication.
5. Help "intermediary"

If you yourself are unable to establish contact with a departed loved one, you may need the help of someone who can.
It can be a medium or just a person endowed with certain psychic abilities that will connect you with the souls of deceased loved ones.
Unfortunately, finding such a person is very difficult. Most so-called psychics or mediums are just plain scammers who are just looking for easy money. They want to make more money by deceiving gullible people.

Don't let your desperation fool you. It is quite logical that you really want to receive news from your loved one who left this world.
However, there are many who can take advantage of this weakness and your gullibility. Dishonest people may try to mislead you by very subtly manipulating you, getting the information you need through leading questions, and then they will tell you what you want to hear.
Unfortunately, there are very few who really have such abilities to contact the world of the dead.
6. Prayer

If you are a believer, then the surest way to communicate with your deceased loved one is through prayer.
By the way, the church accepts this particular way of communicating with deceased loved ones, denying various magicians and sorcerers.
Almost every religion includes beliefs about what happens after death, and in most cases it is about life after death, and that our deceased loved ones are aware of what is happening in the realm of the living, they can also contact us .
Therefore, do not be afraid to turn to God and ask him for your loved one to receive your message.

It will not necessarily happen that your deceased loved ones will answer you - and indeed, in some denominations it is forbidden to try to conduct two-way communication with the dead, but they will certainly hear you.
Try to remember that the spiritual world is a very thin and fragile substance, and, as mentioned above, you need a calm mind and a pure heart in order to contact a loved one.
Your faith is the strongest feeling in the world, so if you really believe and put your heart and soul into prayer, your loved one will definitely hear you.
7. Take his favorite thing

If you have something that belonged to your close deceased relative and was of particular value to him, take it.
You can use such an item to try to connect with its former owner.
To use the things of a deceased person to establish contact with him is also called upon by mediums. And in combination with one of the above methods, this method should work better.

It is known that material things can absorb and store the spiritual energy of a person during his lifetime, and over time can even improve your connection with their previous owner.
This method is especially effective when combined with meditation. Let the object (thing of the deceased) become the center of your meditation, discard extraneous thoughts. This will help create a powerful bond with the person you are trying to connect with.
Humanity is approaching the moment of realizing that death is an illusion. How to get in touch with deceased relatives and friends? You can do it right now!
A new look at the age-old question!
Many people feel sadness for a long time when death takes people. Suddenly, many words are remembered that should have been spoken and which will remain unsaid: it is traditionally believed that there is no opportunity to get in touch with the dead.
Often they continue to feel alive: people can feel their presence nearby. The logical mind explains this as an old memory, an ordinary habit.
Recent scientific research suggests that the feeling of the deceased really means the presence of his soul!
It is known that a person has a soul¹, an energy-informational shell that continues to live after the death of the physical body; it carries the individuality and memory of the deceased, the core of his essence.
The conducted studies showed that the devices actually registered some kind of radiation that remained after the death of a person. After some time, this radiation was noticed next to the close people of the deceased person.
This is what is perceived by the living, as a feeling of the presence of the deceased next to them!
A safe way to communicate with deceased relatives has been found!
Initially, this mysterious sensation of the presence of the deceased must be recognized as real.
Our mind is too logical: there are too many “incredibles” for it. And at the same time, he cannot know everything: it means that this "incredible" can actually exist.
As said, the latest research confirms the existence of the soul. And if it is felt nearby, then you can get in touch with the deceased!
The described method is based on the experience of our practitioner, the author of this article. Initially, this experience happened to him by chance: at the age of 13, the author got in touch with his deceased father.
He managed to improve this method, learn to manage it, and at the age of 33 he consciously got in touch with his mother's soul.
Technique of communication with the dead people
To restore communication with a deceased person, it is necessary, first of all, to be patient and calm. The most important thing is to understand that only the body of a person dies, his soul is alive along with all the memories.
With the moment of death, a loved one passes into another world; for the convenience of perception, we can imagine that this world is separated from our reality by an invisible partition.
Thus, in order to establish communication between the worlds, it is necessary to find an opportunity to overcome this barrier.
1. The practitioner lies down and assumes a comfortable position. He closes his eyes, relaxes the muscles of the body: "passes" attention to all parts of the body.
After a person begins to calm the mind, clear it of thoughts. It is recommended to concentrate on your breathing: without interfering with its course, feel how the air enters and exits the lungs.
2. Then you need to create the necessary emotional state so that the contact can take place.
To do this, the practitioner recreates in his imagination the image of the person with whom he wants to get in touch.
He is immersed in memories of him; how communication took place when the person was alive. It is necessary to remember the state of mind, emotions and thoughts that caused communication with him. The more memories and the more realistic the emotions are, the more likely it is that a connection with the deceased will be established.
3. The practitioner creates the effect of presence, that the soul of the right person at this very moment is next to him.
You really need to feel his presence! This is the most important thing in this practice. By remembering your inner state, you will learn how to restore it instantly without having to enter a meditative state for a long time².
4. A person recreates this state of mind. When a feeling of inner comfort, naturalness appears, you can begin to communicate.
It is necessary to mentally ask the initial question, for example: “Are you really with me?” After that, you need to let go of expectations, immerse yourself in the feeling of the described emotional state of the presence of the soul next to you. Having received the first answer, one can develop communication with the soul of the deceased³.
It should be immediately warned that answers can come in various ways:
- you can hear the familiar familiar voice of a deceased person;
- the soul can answer figuratively: in this case, the practitioner just needs to look at those mental images that will appear on, and perceive the meaning inherent in them;
- contact can be like a full movie, where the practitioner will see different pictures, see the person and how he talks.
In order to get in touch with a dead person similar to live communication, ordinary person you need to train your mind and consciousness: to strengthen
